omyroar Posted December 8, 2004 I am a 14 year old kid wanting to get a thumper. I have put together an ebay business that sells yugioh and pokemon cards. I am making 200 to 300 dollars a month and am getting closer and closer to a dirtbike. If you buy something in mass you can make lots of money. I am just posting this to let you know that you should be a little more inventive instead of just hounding your parents for one 😢 . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savageracing Posted December 8, 2004 good for you. I am glad to see a young person taking such an initiative to get their own bike and not have their parents buy it for them. when i was a kid i had a paper route (i know they don't give them to kids any more) and i used to make about 300$ a month. after saving up for about a year and convincing my mom i got my first 125. WAY TO GO! 😢😢😢 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikedude127 Posted December 8, 2004 We're all proud of you young grasshopper. I too had to buy my first bike, and well, every bike since. You are doing good for yourself. 😢 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vbp6us Posted December 8, 2004 I had to pay for my bike as well (i'm 20). With tuition it makes it hard to fit a dirt bike in. 😢 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hondaphillip Posted December 9, 2004 Its a good bike to learn on(its no MX bike). Its a littled dated but will last you a lifetime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
st3ve Posted December 9, 2004 selling pokemon cards? seems far-fetched. my bike pattern has been weird, i pay for every other bike..dont ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OscarTHEGrouch Posted December 9, 2004 sure it is... really reliable bike. not the fastest thing out there but it will move a good 65mph. it all depends on how much money you have? are you buying brand new or what ? are you going to ride the track or ride woods or what ? xr200 is a okay trail bike and it can be dualsported as well.

Dingus Posted December 9, 2004 I grew up on 50 acres and NEVER HAD A DIRTBIKE!!! I asked my Dad for one for years and all I ever got to ride was the lousy mower! I turned 16 and told my dad that I needed a car. He said, "You're right, let's go". So we hopped in the car and off we went - I was so excited! Then we pulled into the mall parking lot and I thought, "I didn't know they had a car dealership here." My dad says, "You need a car, so you need a job first. See you in two hours." Really sucked at the time, but in retrospect I think it was good for me. Still though, the day my son asked for a dirtbike, I jumped in the car and bought us both one, the whole time mentally telling my dad, "Nya Nya Nya Nyaaaa Nya - I'm a fun dad, I'm a fun dad!! Totally irresponsible and teaching my son nothing about the dollar, but FUN darn it!!!!" 😢 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
